    My gut feeling on this is to deploy your web site two times. One deployment
    will be for your internal users. The second deployment will be for you
    external users. The code base should be identical. Just configure your
    web.config according to thee users locations. You can run both deployments
    on the same machine if need be, just create two different web instances.
    Then set up the network to only allow external users to hit the external
    instance and only allow the internal users to hit the internal instance. If
    you try to code this behavior there seems to be to much room for failure in
    the future. Because today you may be able to reliably check the referer url
    but tommorrow your firewall/proxy server access to the extern may not allow
    you to figure out exactly where the user came from. Anyways there is some
    more food for thought.
